Birthday card for my neighbor

 I just found out that my next door neighbor's birthday is tomorrow.

So I had to make a quick card.  Kind of stuck as to what to make for him...then I rmembered this bird stamp and die that I had.  It's from one of my craft magazines.

Symply cards and Papercraft  Issue 165.

Thank you for visiting my blog today...

Cardinal Christmas Card

Another Christmas card, I made with Rubber Stamping.  My husband colored the images for me with copics...E37, G29, R46, C10, T7, R39, E31, E17, YR04
The birds are from Heartfelt Creations, and after they were colored cut out with a matching Heartfelt creations die (Cardinal family, HCD 706.  Added a bow and button, and some stickles on the branches for some bling.  One of my resolutions for the new year, is to learn how to make a CAS card.  I can't seem to get away from layers on cards, and extra embellishments, and I am regretting this when I go to mail cards...(the extra postage...Yikes!)  But the person I am sending this to is worth the extra postage.

Card I received from Stacie

This is the card I received recently from Stacie. Stacie is my Stampin' Up Demo. She makes the prettiest cards. Of course, when I saw the bird image she used for this card...I had to order this stamp...smile. I didn't get it yet...but I'm looking forward to using it when it comes.

Bluebird WT319

This is for a Splitcoast Ways to use it challenge. WT319. You were to use an oval on your card. I like the easy challenges those I can do...smile. I stamped another Martha Stewart bird, and Yes, My husband colored this one with copics too. This one was difficult for me to post, because it was one of my Mother's favorite. I think of her every time I look at this card.

The design paper is from Stampin Up, and I cut the oval frame with a Spellbinder's die...

Another Bird, Fieldfare

They're going to call me the bird lady after while...smile... I can't help that my husband is so crazy about birds... All the coloring that he has done for me is so appreciated. Just wish I could keep up with him. He can color the images faster than I make cards for them. I have to find some way to keep him busy. Retired husbands get bored....smile...

This bird was stamped with a Martha Stewart stamp

Colored by my husband with copics, I added ribbon and pop dots, and cut out the oval with a spellbinders Oval. I used Stampin' Up Designer paper for the background.

My husband used his bird book for inspiration in coloring these bird images.

I'm also going to show you a picture of the stamps he used...

Another Bird, TLC320, Technique Challenge at Split Coast

Blue Indigo... I made a bird card for the This week's Technique Challenge, at Split Coast. I just hope you aren't getting tired of looking at bird cards... (because there will be more) My husband is a big Bird fan, smile... With this card I tried the technique with using a border punch on a curve. Not too crazy about how this lacy oval turned out, but I still like the technique and I am going to try it again. I hope to remember to insert the link here later (obviously, I remembered that I didn't get the link after I started this post.. My card was stamped with a Martha Stewart stamp, (memento ink) cut out with a Spellbinder Oval die. Pop dots, and ribbon added. And Most importantly colored with Copics by my husband. My Designer paper is by Stampin' Up.

Another Bird, Red Breasted Grosbeak

Another Bird Card, ...It's a Red Breasted Grosbeak. I'm amazed that my husband is getting all these birds out of a very Plain stamp...next time I will have to post a picture of the stamp. So you can really see how creative he is with his coloring of these bird images. Yes, Hubby again colored this one.

Rubber stamp from Martha Stewart, Designer paper from Stampin' Up, Oval scalloped done with spellbinders. I added pop-dots, and ribbon.

Bird, Wood thrush

I hope you like birds, I have a lot of bird cards to post...Again, this is a Martha Stewart stamp, and my husband colored the Wood thrush bird with copics, The designer paper is from Stampin' Up.

It's spring and this really reminds me of spring

Seeing the birds, is a wonderful spring time treat. My husband has so many bird feeder's out in our small yard. He keeps a list of how many different birds we have seen just in our back yard, and it's something like 28 different birds. Of course this bird is a robin...

He colored it for me with copics...It's a Martha Stewart stamp, and the designer paper is from Stamping Up.
